For the most part, I get to do what I want to do. If I want to play poker, I can. If I don't want to play poker, I don't have to.
Poker has such an element of competitivness that other games don't have.
strongest stud
I'm comfortable with the hold 'em, Omaha and stud high-low. But the other two games aren't my strongest games. I'm not comfortable at all with razz or stud.
My favourite movie right now is probably 'Hitch', a Will Smith thing.
family
I'm the first person in my family to play poker.
casino people player
If you're a poker player and you show up at a casino at 8 a.m., you're going to be by yourself or with some people that are rocks and just don't give you any action.
fall trying matter
I always pretend like I'm nervous no matter what. I try to fall asleep.
games play casinos
I actually do quite well in Omaha. It's one of my better games. I love pot-limit Omaha and Omaha high-low. I do quite well in them. If I play in a casino, I usually play some kind of mixed game with Omaha and hold 'em.
